For one month I’m going to keep a journal of everything I
eat and how it makes me feel.
We’re all familiar with the term emotional eating: (Health.com)
-- Anyone who's sought solace in pizza or a pint of ice cream knows that food
can be comforting. But experts still don't know exactly why we gravitate toward
fatty or sugary foods when we're feeling down, or how those foods affect our
emotions.
So for one month I will be both the scientist and the lab
rat. Without censor or fudging, I will track my own personal food and mood
connection. Maybe I won’t find a correlation. Maybe I will.

If anyone wants to join me in my food mood connection
experiment, please chime in. The more lab rats the better. No one likes to eat
alone.
